Adopting some of the latest technologies and features, the Wahoo KICKR Smart Turbo Trainer offers an immersive indoor bike riding experience and precise data measurements, whether you're riding for fun or working on your performance for race day.



Please note: This product has a USA/ Japan main plug and will come with a UK adapter in the box.

Engineered for the ultimate indoor cycling experience, the Wahoo KICKR Smart Trainer features a virtually silent flywheel and measures speed, distance, power and cadence with the utmost accuracy. Also, this Smart bike trainer was developed and tested by the world’s most demanding top-level athletes to ensure performance and durability are more rewarding than they have ever been.

KICKR V5 Automatic Calibration
The KICKR V5 features automatic calibration, which means you no longer have to perform spin downs as you train. The KICKR now performs spin downs periodically as you ride with a cycling resistance up to 2000 watts. Also, this trainer records vital cycling metrics with an accuracy of +/- 1% and is compatible with your favourite cycling apps such as Zwift.

Wahoo AXIS Feet for Realistic Movement
The AXIS feet technology gives this KICKR V5 trainer the most dynamic and real-feel cycling experience without having to leave your home. Mimicking outdoor riding momentum when you stand up to climb or get in the drops to out-sprint your goal, the AXIS system provides 5° of side-to-side movement and consistent motion as you put the power down. Plus, this trainer comes supplied with three stiffness-variations of AXIS feet, so you can customise its performance to suit your riding style and personal preference.

Developed and Optimised for Best-In-Class Performance
Tested time and time again by the most demanding athletes in the world, this smart trainer provides World Tour level accuracy and durability. It provides best-in-class performance and records vital cycling metrics to meet the demands of the most powerful and the most ambitious cyclists. This means you will be getting the most from every training session and experiencing indoor cycling immersion and top-level performance at its finest.

Please Note: This trainer is supplied with a UK and US power adaptor

Compatible with Modern Cycling Apps
The Wahoo KICKR V5 Smart Turbo Trainer is future-proofed and ready for the demands of modern road race training. To achieve this, it features a port on the back of the unit to support additional accessories and gives you confidence in its compatibility with future upgrades. Plus, this exceptional trainer functions perfectly with modern computer/smartphone software and online cycling platforms.

In The Box:
  • KICKR
  • AC Power Adapter
  • Quick Release Skewer
  • Disc Brake Caliper Spacer
  • 1.8mm Cassette Spacer
  • Drive Side Adapter for 130mm and 135mm quick release (QR)
  • Reversible hub spacer for 130mm and 135mm QR
  • Drive Side Adapter for 12x142mm and 12x148mm Thru Axle
  • Reversible hub spacer for Thru Axle
  • AXIS Stiff and Easy Feet

Technologies:
Automatic Spin Down:The KICKR V5’s automatic calibration removes the needs for the regular spin down functionality, instead, it continuously calibrates the KICKR throughout a ride so that your power accuracy is always correct. How does this work? - The Wahoo KICKR V5 continuously monitors performance and detects coasting. When the KICKR coasts, it’s able to measure the drag in the system which allows it to recalibrate.

Do I still need to do a regular spin down? - No, A regular spin down is no longer needed because the automatic calibration is always on.

What is the power accuracy of the new KICKR V5?- The new KICKR achieves a better power accuracy of 1% because of the addition of the new automatic calibration feature.

AXIS Feet:
The outer feet are customizable and are very easy to customize. With the 3 different size caps for the outrigger feet, you simply unthread the feet from the KICKR, remove the lock ring, remove the bolt and previously installed cap and then replace it with the different cap of your choice (Stiff caps, middle caps (installed by default), easy caps). Plus, they allow for 1 up to 5 degrees of side-to-side movement and are fully compatible with the CLIMB (sold separately) system. And, they still provide the same side-to-side motion with or without the CLIMB connected to your bike.

Disclaimer:
Because of the wide variety of bicycle makes and models, it is not possible for Wahoo to guarantee the KICKR’s compatibility with all bicycles matching these parameters. To fully ensure compatibility, Wahoo recommends visiting a local Wahoo retailer to test your bicycle’s fit before purchasing. Please take note of the “Known Incompatible Bikes” listed below. While Wahoo has conducted tests on KICKR safety and compatibility with certain bikes, the KICKR end user is ultimately responsible for ensuring that their bike frame is compatible with the KICKR trainers such that damage to the bike frame does not result from using the KICKR trainer.

Wahoo Fitness strongly discourages altering trainers to fit bikes deviating from the following specifications including (but not limited to) grinding-down components, adding washers, or improperly reversing spacers as these may void your warranty and increase inherent risk. Wahoo Fitness is not liable for any damage or injury related to improper installation, modification, or misuse of hardware.

    That is a cracking price! I paid more than that for my v4 refurb from Wahoo about 18 months ago.

    Way better than the Zwift Hub
    jig2480's avatar
    Out of interest why is it better? Sorry being lazy - I have been a kickr user since gen 1 (still going strong for a mate I sold it to go get my gen 5)- not really took much notice of the zwift hub
  2. Tom_Szczepanski's avatar
    If someone could find me the Kickr bike for this much I'd do some dirty things to them
    mr_johnsie's avatar
    Huw, is that you?

    If you buy from Chain Reaction (also Wiggle) there is 5% cashback too via TCB (edited)
    Dawidl's avatar
    Bought. TCB 6%. Thanks
  4. R4L3p's avatar
    Back in stock at both Wiggle and CRC. 6% TCB at CRC if it tracks. Cheers OP
  5. topgun06's avatar
    Excellent price!
  6. Dire_hero's avatar
    Makes me want to sell my Suito (great unit) for this, so as to have more resistance on the steepest Zwift climbs.
    shibbrew's avatar
    Suito fans in the house! Yeah I know what you mean but by the looks of things it’s only 1% incline difference and that shouldn’t make too much difference on Alpe. It’s still gonna hurt
  7. noobnoob's avatar
    £500... These companies must be raking it in.
    spankwilder's avatar
    nah. That’s why most of these manufacturers are going direct sales, particularly where they already have brand awareness - moving stock from manufacturer, supplier, retailer, consumer.. :/
  8. lloydy187's avatar
    Don't get why this was overlooked, from what I can tell its basically a Zwift hub without the branding, probably why its being sold off cheap but making it a hell of a bargain at £200🔥 (edited)
  9. jonmall's avatar
    Great price but the link isn't working in the app.
  10. coleaj's avatar
    Brilliant price. If I didn’t already have the previous model I would be all over this.
  11. afhtennyson's avatar
    Bargain price. Well reviewed and cheaper than second hand.
  12. binned-it's avatar
    Brilliant price, I paid slightly more than this for my reconditioned v5 from Wahoo
  13. KapA's avatar
    Wow thats cheap
  14. Jnh's avatar
    Bought, cheers. Current turbo is bust so was eyeing up the Zwift Hub or Kickr Core. This is a no-brainer for £15 less than the Core.
    Tom_Carvell's avatar
    hi! did you have any problems with the uk/usa adaptor?? I didn't think you could use USA stuff in uk because of voltage difference!
  15. Dados's avatar
    Cracking find OP
  16. jamesatoneill1984's avatar
    Scorching! A sad reminder I paid this for a Wahoo Kickr Snap back in the day
  17. PRENDY's avatar
    can anyone recommend a cheap bike that this will work with
    chrisbass's avatar
    if it is solely for use on this and you don't care about riding it outside then pretty much any bike will fit it. so just get anything cheap with at least 8 gears at the back. (edited)

    Bargain! 🔥 Heat
  21. alexf's avatar
    Exceptional deal. I paid £100 more than this for my Kickr Core (that was during the height of COVID however)!
  22. GherkinCrush's avatar
    How is this better than the zwift hub? 
  23. milemar's avatar
    Just ordered one. WHAT a deal! (edited)
  24. Jnh's avatar
    Arrived today. Weirdly the bag with the plug in it had clearly been ripped open and contained a UK plug, but not gonna complain about that.
    JonnyUK's avatar
    Mine is due tomorrow. I don’t suppose you know if it has the full 2 yr warranty?
  25. Daniel789's avatar
    Did the topcashback/quidco track for people? Going to order one, but I also have a £10 off voucher, wondered if it's better to just use that or go for the cashback.
    Denzil9's avatar
    Yep TCB tracked for me, no issues.
  26. NeoDetail's avatar
    Is it better to buy this at £500 new or second hand around £250/£300?
    UnicornHunter's avatar
    You're looking at the wrong product for £250/300 used. These are £400 used.
  27. RedSnail's avatar
    Weird ALL cervelo disc frames are not compatible. Need to do some research on that.
  28. Tamás_Szabó's avatar
    weird... how's this not sold out yet?
    Daniel789's avatar
    I think they must have got in a gigantic job lot.
  29. CW7's avatar
    back in stock! just ordered one
